"Stephen King or HP Lovecraft? One thing that readers of modern horror can not agree, if you ask a casual reader, they will probably tell you that Stephen King, Lovecraft desconosca possibly, or an author says it is overestimated, but book club questions a little more "empedermidos" (so to speak) going to give much credit to Lovecraft and King may be branded as a commercial author, or perhaps be accused of repeating the same stories over and over again (do not criticize these last, because I had my time snob in which repudiated King).
do not intend to be the final solution to this debate, however I qualifiedcar to the creatures most representative of these authors: Cthulhu, and "That." Fans of King
I think I should have used Carrie, Cujo, King Crimson, etc. / Fans of Lovecraft that I think I should have used the color of outer space, Yog Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, etc., I remind you that this is my thinking, not yours, if you have any comments, criticism, or correction, place it in a comment.
Now without further ado (Insert intro music wrestling).
In this corner, measuring a thousand feet, only the wings, tentacles with more flexibility than a gymnast from Romania and next master andp; oacute; No, I dare say, delicious, that even makes you feel like the apocalypse comes at you once you know that Cthulhu is free. ROUND 2: Modus Operandi
The modus operandi defines a good villain in many respects, these two bad boys are known for their terrible ways of acting, "Some will have more sadistic ways? "It": terrify their victims to death, psyche manipulate weak people, can also change shape (by joder nomas) Cthulhu: Even asleep handled much of humanity to fulfill their wishes , sends his servants (the deep, better known as people fish) to basically screw thehuman, creates storms and typhoons, basically very clear to us what we'd be screwed if it awakening.
Point: Draw The modus operandi of Pennywise seems much more sadistic and even poetic, but the modus operandi of Cthulhu is as impressive as it is basically a god to humans.
ROUND 3: Raison d'être A good character usually has a good reason to act, a hero to save the world, to some orphanage, break a curse, and so on.; A villain usually wants to conquer the world, destroy their enemies, revenge, and a long etcetera.
But what is it that motivates ourcompetitors?
"It" : Its purpose is rather food, causing a wave of violence in the town of Derry, and feeds on its victims, sleeps about three decades or so and start again. We also implies that much of his behavior because "It" is female and want to protect and nurture their eggs ... so instead of creating sympathy, make you afraid.
Cthulhu: As previously mentioned, Cthulhu wants to rule the earth, but his race (the primitive or primary) have a higher purpose and incomprehensible to the human mind, it is said that these people want to destroy the entire universe and then to create something better.
Point: Cthuloctopus-headed dragon wings.
point: "It"
Unless that be afraid of sea creatures (like moi ) the appearance of Cthulhu will seem ridiculous, while even the most heartless reader at some point he was afraid that Pennywise appeared to him in the dark.
ROUND 7: Enemies
devil's life would be very boring without heroes who would ruin their plans, which is important for both the hero and the villain, even if the villain is going to take over the eyes of the public. "It":
A mystic turtle that does nothing, and a group of children (later adult) traumaontrar the beast in the novel. "It":
Derry, a town with great waves of violence, courtesy of Pennywise
Cthulhu R'lyeh , underwater city inhabited by a race of humanoid fish called "The deep" to describe their structure is beyond human capacity, Lovecraft only knows what other horrors lurk there.
point: Cthulhu
Although give me something rednecks fear in real life, the people of Derry do not compare to the horrors R'lyeh submarines
ROUND 9: Defeat Both
is important to introduce him as a villain, as is how to desenie Meyer). I do not think that the popularity of King is reduced from one day to another, but "It" is no longer the monster it used to be.
Cthulhu: Alone in the world of literature, the brief appearance of Cthulhu has shaped the modern horror is possibly one of the most recognized characters in the literary world and its influence on many stories, TV series , video games, etc. is very clear. point: Cthulhu
not called "Cthulhu Mythos" for nothing
Result:
Cthulhu: 6 - "It": 5
Cthulhu wins by a hair bald frog But if, Cthulhu has emerged victorious c
